America is a nation divided politically - and in search for illumination on the road ahead. In this episode, Tom Brokaw offers the view from Montana and speaks with his longtime friend, Mike Barnicle.

Their friendship was forged on the campaign trail decades ago, and since then the two have vividly chronicled America’s story. Now, Brokaw and Barnicle on: bridging the divide and American resolve after the election; why America is better positioned for success when women take charge of our institutions; the dangers of news professionals living in sheltered bubbles; their own remarkable families and, “What would Tip O’Neill think of Donald Trump?”
